< 以西结书 47 >
1 他带我回到殿门,见殿的门槛下有水往东流出(原来殿面朝东)。这水从槛下,由殿的右边,在祭坛的南边往下流。
And he brought me to the entrance of the house; and, behold, water issued from under the porch eastward, for the front of the house looked eastward; and the water came down from the right side, from the south to the altar.
2 他带我出北门,又领我从外边转到朝东的外门,见水从右边流出。
And he brought me out by the way of the northern gate, and he led me round by the way outside to the gate of the court that looks eastward; and, behold, water came down from the right side,
3 他手拿准绳往东出去的时候,量了一千肘,使我趟过水,水到踝子骨。
in [the direction] in which a man went forth opposite; and [there was] a measuring line in his hand, and he measured a thousand [cubits] with the measure;
4 他又量了一千肘,使我趟过水,水就到膝;再量了一千肘,使我趟过水,水便到腰;
and he passed through the water; [it was] water of a fountain: and [again] he measured a thousand, and passed through the water; and the water was up to the thighs: and [again] he measured a thousand; and he passed through water up to the loins.
5 又量了一千肘,水便成了河,使我不能趟过。因为水势涨起,成为可洑的水,不可趟的河。
and [again] he measured a thousand; and he could not pass through: for [the water] rose as of a torrent which [men] can’t pass over.
6 他对我说:“人子啊,你看见了什么?” 他就带我回到河边。
And he said to me, Hast you seen [this], son of man? Then he brought me, and led me back to the brink of the river
7 我回到河边的时候,见在河这边与那边的岸上有极多的树木。
as I returned; and, behold, on the brink of the river [there were] very many trees on this side and on that side.
8 他对我说:“这水往东方流去,必下到亚拉巴,直到海。所发出来的水必流入盐海,使水变甜。
And he said to me, This is the water that goes forth to Galilee that lies eastward, and it is gone down to Arabia, and has reached as far as to the sea to the outlet of the water: and it shall heal the waters.
9 这河水所到之处,凡滋生的动物都必生活,并且因这流来的水必有极多的鱼,海水也变甜了。这河水所到之处,百物都必生活。
And it shall come to pass, [that] every animal of living [and] moving creatures, all on which the river shall come, shall live: and there shall be there very many fish; for this water shall go there, and it shall heal [them], and they shall live: everything on which the river shall come shall live.
10 必有渔夫站在河边,从隐·基底直到隐·以革莲,都作晒网之处。那鱼各从其类,好像大海的鱼甚多。
And fishers shall stand there from Ingadin to Enagallim; it shall be a place to spread out nets upon; it shall be distinct; and the fishes thereof [shall be] as the fishes of the great sea, a very great multitude.
But at the outlet of the water, and the turn of it, and where it overflows [its banks], they shall not heal at all; they are given to salt.
12 在河这边与那边的岸上必生长各类的树木;其果可作食物,叶子不枯干,果子不断绝。每月必结新果子,因为这水是从圣所流出来的。树上的果子必作食物,叶子乃为治病。”
And every fruit tree shall grow by the river, [even] on the bank of it on this side and on that side: they shall not decay upon it, neither shall their fruit fail: they shall bring forth the first-fruit of their early crop, for these their waters come forth of the sanctuary: and their fruit shall be for meat, and their foliage for health.
13 主耶和华如此说:“你们要照地的境界,按以色列十二支派分地为业。约瑟必得两分。
Thus says the Lord God; You shall inherit these borders of the land; [they are] given by lot to the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.
14 你们承受这地为业,要彼此均分;因为我曾起誓应许将这地赐与你们的列祖;这地必归你们为业。
And you shall inherit it, each according to his brother's portion, [even the land] concerning which I lifted up my hand to give [it] to your fathers: and this land shall fall to you by lot.
15 “地的四界乃是如此:北界从大海往希特伦,直到西达达口。
And these are the borders of the land that lies northward, from the great sea that comes down, and divides the entrance of Emaseldam;
16 又往哈马、比罗他、西伯莲(西伯莲在大马士革与哈马两界中间),到浩兰边界的哈撒·哈提干。
Maabthera, Ebrameliam, between the coasts of Damascus and the coasts of Emathi, the habitation of Saunan, which [places] are above the coasts of Auranitis.
17 这样,境界从海边往大马士革地界上的哈萨·以难,北边以哈马地为界。这是北界。
These are the borders from the sea, from the habitations of Aenan, the coasts of Damascus, and the northern [coasts].
18 “东界在浩兰、大马士革、基列,和以色列地的中间,就是约旦河。你们要从北界量到东海。这是东界。
And the eastern coasts between Loranitis, and Damascus, and the land of Galaad, and the land of Israel, the Jordan divides to the sea that is east of the city of palm-trees. These are the eastern [coasts].
19 “南界是从他玛到米利巴·加低斯的水,延到埃及小河,直到大海。这是南界。
And the southern and south-western [coasts are] from Thaeman and the city of palm-trees, to the water of Marimoth Cadem, reaching forth to the great sea. This part is the south and southwest.
20 “西界就是大海,从南界直到哈马口对面之地。这是西界。
This part of the great sea forms a border, till [one comes] opposite the entrance of Emath, [even] as far as the entrance thereof. These are the parts west of Emath.
So you shall divide this land to them, [even] to the tribes of Israel.
22 要拈阄分这地为业,归与自己和你们中间寄居的外人,就是在你们中间生养儿女的外人。你们要看他们如同以色列人中所生的一样;他们在以色列支派中要与你们同得地业。
You shall cast the lot upon it, for yourselves and the strangers that sojourn in the midst of you, who have begotten children in the midst of you: and they shall be to you as natives amongst the children of Israel; they shall eat with you in [their] inheritance in the midst of the tribes of Israel.
23 外人寄居在哪支派中,你们就在那里分给他地业。这是主耶和华说的。”
And they shall be in the tribe of proselytes amongst the proselytes that are with them: there shall you give them an inheritance, says the Lord God.
